The University of Missouri-St. Louis is committed to
broadening students' understanding of different cultures and preparing
them for the global community in which we live. One of the most successful
ways of achieving this "global mindset" is to study at an overseas
location for a year, semester or summer. Spending time abroad as a
student is an enriching experience both academically and personally,
providing students with the opportunity to study within a different
culture.

The Center for International Studies provides UM-St.
Louis students with opportunities to study at over 75 different universities in
more than 30 countries around the globe. Through individual advising
at the center's Study Abroad Office, students can find the program best
suited to their personal, academic, and career goals. Internship possibilities
are also available for qualified students.

Fees and Financial AidThe cost of the program depends on the services provided and the
country and city of study. For most programs, participants continue to
pay UM-St. Louis fees plus airfare, room and board, and spending money.
Few programs require an additional fee. Students are usually housed in
dormitories or are assisted in finding apartments. In most cases, students
are able to apply financial aid to a study abroad program. Study abroad
scholarships are available for qualified applicants through the Center
for International Studies.

ApplicationGenerally, applications are due at the end of January for fall, mid-February
for summer, and the end of September for winter semester. Some programs
require application two semesters prior to participation. Students should
plan to spend at least one or two months researching a program before
applying.
Participant selection is based on academic achievement, faculty recommendations,
approval of the proposed course of study via the department/divisional advisory
process, and familiarity with or willingness to learn the foreign language
of instruction. Most programs are designed for undergraduate students in their
junior or senior years of study; however, a limited number of programs for
freshmen, sophomores, and graduate students are available.
